Deep into the night, the Underground, packed as rush hoursYet no unease, no anguish: yellow ribbon on us all.

旺角更是宇宙最浪漫。
亞皆老街彌敦道是我十幾歲時每天經過的地方，
我發夢都估唔到有日會有人在那裡搭個棚，
為地球人遮風擋雨。

Mong Kok: now the most romantic spot in the Universe. Argyle Street, Nathan Road, my daily passage as a teen.Who would ever have dreamt of seeing a canopy put up,To shelter earth-dwellers from rain and wind?

見到地鐵站頂的朋友，大樂——
試問爬了上去，見過這樣的人民風景，如何捨得下來？

Exalting! Some have summited the MTR entrance!Having viewed folk-scape from high! Hard to descend?

道路屬於人民，巴士屬於人民，
但巴士上的標語，並非怒氣沖沖，而是幽默又準確。

Roads are now in people’s hands, buses too, With sharp slogans, garnished with humour and not with fire.

Now I am in Hong Kong but my home is in Germany, where my cherry tree was. By profession, I am a teacher, writer, translator, and consultant. Occasionally, I used to organise cultural events such as art exhibitions, home concerts, and poetry reading, in Hong Kong and in Germany.
Currently I am promoting Fair Trade & healthy food and body care products. For over eight years, from 2006 to 2014, together with my husband, I was selling goodies at the Farmers’ Market, via our website Fair-and-Healthy.com, and since 2011.08.27, at Mini Mäuschen MM Shop, a small shop at B42, 2/F, Hung Hom Square, and in August 2014, an online shop. It is hard work trying to import products directly from the third world, but, if we are able to help the poor farmers there and bring healthy products to Hong Kong people, we are happy.
My interests are: writing poetry and prose, eurhythmics, cooking, reading, appreciating art, listening to music, playing on the piano, taking walks, gardening, travelling, sketching, going to poetry reading, movies, theatre, and concerts, hanging out with family or friends at home or in good restaurants, not necessarily in this order, and only when I have time, which is rare these days. ;-)
